The match started at a sustained pace with Arsenal taking the initiative from the first minutes. The Gunners have put a Parisian defense under pressure which trembled several times. However, Paris reacted largely thanks to its Donnarumma goalkeeper, who made several impressive stops, including one in the face of a Declan Rice shot in the 4th minute.
The first real Parisian action took place after a quarter of an hour of play, when Kvaratskhelia hit the post, just missing the opening of the score. But it was Fabian Ruiz, well placed, who materialized the Parisian effort in the 27th minute of a perfect half-volley, putting PSG in front. Despite an opportunity missed by Barcola a few minutes later, PSG retained its advance at halftime.
The return of the locker room was marked by an arsenal still as dangerous, but Paris gradually taken control of the match. In the 73rd minute, Hakimi, who had been a constant threat to the attack, doubled the bet after a superb pass from Dembélé. His powerful shot in the surface found the bottom of the nets, giving a little air to his team.
-However, Arsenal was not killed. Less than three minutes after Hakimi’s goal, Saka reduced the gap for the Gunners, showing off the enthusiasm of the Parc des Princes. The match became more tense, but Paris was able to keep calm. A penalty failed by Vitinha in the 69th minute could have changed the situation, but fortunately for PSG, the defense held out.
At the end of the match, Hakimi continued to be a key element, not only in attack, but also in defensive solidity. The Luis Enrique team was able to maintain its advantage and qualify for the final, where it will face Inter Milan on May 31 in Munich.
Hakimi, with his decisive goal and his involvement in all sectors of the game, was widely praised for his performance and was elected MVP of the match. PSG, now one step from the European coronation, can be delighted to have such a decisive player in its ranks. The long -awaited final is already epic.
